Note: Read the Instructions before flying
Overview
History
During the Rebellion, the Galactic Empire sought to replace its obsolete TIE fighters with a more capable design. The result of this was the TIE interceptor, with better visibility, armament, and speed, especially excelling in atmospheric conditions.
Capabilities
My version of the TIE interceptor has many features, such as a working Door, VTOL capabilities, and folding wings. It is decently maneuverable and has a top speed of around Mach 1, along with a low stalling speed.
Controls
AG1 for door
AG7 for flight mode
AG8 for hover mode
Landing Gear for wing folding
Instructions
The TIE interceptor has two modes it can be in, hover mode and flight mode, though they can both be on or both off. Flight mode activates the forward engines, while hover mode activates the vertical engines, gyroscope, and air brakes.
Takeoff
Put throttle to 100%. When the aircraft lifts off the ground, activate AG7. Once the aircraft is moving at least 50 mph, Deactivate AG8 and unfold the wings with landing gear. (If you wish, before activating AG7, you can move around in hover mode to lineup for your preferred takeoff run)
Landing
When you are ready to land, deactivate AG7 and glide to your landing spot. When you get close enough, activate AG8. Due to the air brakes, the aircraft should only need a little over 2.5 USS Beasts (anything but the metric system) to lose most of its speed. Pitch up to maintain altitude. When you feel yourself starting to stall push throttle to 97% or more to stop losing altitude. Fold the wings and hover to your landing spot before reducing the throttle and touching down.
